A Difficult Truth
June 19, 2023 A Difficult Truth Across much of the world, the incidents of hatred against any who are sexually different has risen dramatically in the last few years. In Canada, it has risen by half in the last year. A horrific incident in a Pride parade in Europe was reported this morning, as an […]
I’m Afraid I’m Right. The ‘Sword’ is Here
June 25, 2023 It’s been two days and I’m just writing this down. There I was, on-top-of-the-world. I had just sent the text and cover ideas into ‘the guy’ that does my formatting and cover. My new book is Bread versus the Sword – The Fundamentalist Schism Within Christianity and How its Weaponization Threatens Our […]
2SLGBTQI+?
June 26, 2023 I know that it’s important for everyone to feel included. Me, too. But just who is represented in the above? When I saw the term seven times in an article in the paper last week, it still took me a while to figure it all out. And I’m sure that there are […]
We All Make a Difference
June 28, 2023 At noon I’m joining a demonstration at the city hall about climate change. Thinking about the predictable comments of some, mainly, “What can I do? One person can’t make a difference.” A thought hit me. Maybe I’m still a sailor at heart. (You can’t sail across the Atlantic in a 32’ sloop […]

Kingston was the first city in Canada to declare a ‘Climate Emergency’ some years ago, but has largely relied on that distinction ever since. The rally was to start at noon, in conjunction with thirty others across the country. I had […]
Modern Humanity’s Great Deficit
July 1, 2023 We think we’re so smart. Look at our A.I. and the buildings that we live in. All that information at our fingertips on the internet. All true. But look at how stupid we are when it comes to sexuality, the most basic aspect of our humanity. We couldn’t be more screwed up. […]
Don’t Tell Me, Show Me!
July 5, 2023 When I was out front in our Yarden, (the whole lot is growing food for us or other critters), a Jehovah Witness fellow came by with the usual invitation and handout. Steve, a housemate, was there and we got talking about JW’s and such. I told him of their sorry state, of […]
Hello, Me
July 16, 2023 Between 5:00 AM and getting up is my most productive time when it comes to ‘dreams’ and such. A few days ago, I didn’t ‘get up’ until nearly 9:00, and was rewarded with a very quick but meaningful encounter with myself as a sixteen-year-old. I was walking along and suddenly, there I […]
Ready to Dance
July 19, 2023 Most Tuesday evenings will find Judy and I at the nearby Legion, attending a great ‘Open-Mic’ where around thirty people expose themselves by singing and playing for those gathered. About seventy people usually attend. There’s a large dance floor so many folks come just for that. I love to go just to […]
